Oil Slick Zirconium Scales for Benchmade Bugout 535   Newly designed Knife Scales with more comfortable nicely chamfered grip. These scales have the Tip up Right hand carry Clip holes and optional left hand carry (predrilled) can be requested.   COMPATIBILITY: All Bugout 535 versions are now compatible with these new redesigned scales.   INSTALLATION: You can use the hardware from the factory knife you purchase separately (*Installation of the scales requires some basic tools and knowledge. You will need a good torx bit set to remove the screws and pivots. The pivot can be tough to remove if you don't know what you are doing. You can search YouTube for more instructions or email me. There are small parts on the Para 2. Disassemble at your own risk as there are no refunds). NOTE: Disassembly of any knife is not covered under the original manufacturer's Warranty.   Black ZIRCONIUM: Pure Zirconium (Zr Atomic number 40) is a lustrous, grey-white, very strong, lightweight and hypoallergenic metal that closely resembles hafnium and, to a lesser extent, titanium. Zirconium is extremely resistant to heat and corrosion and it is lighter than steel. Through my own heating process, I create a unique appearance, that's called "Black Zirconium" or "Oil Slick". Through this high heat, a layer of extremely hard black oxide grows on the metal. This thin black layer is much harder than pure Zirconium, which does not rub off over time. Therefore, it is more durable than black-coated items, such as black tungsten and titanium. This "black" or "Oil Slick" color is permanent, it does not fade, tarnish, or change color.   Zr WEIGHT: ~53gr     INSTALL: You can also request the scales to be installed on Factory Knife as a custom order. Just send me a message.   PRECISION: Each MetonBoss item is precision CNC machined from a solid billet in my Anaheim manufacturing facility in California, USA.   EVERY DAY CARRY - LIFETIME WARRANTY   DISASSEMBLY of any knife is not covered under the original manufacturer's Warranty.   We appreciate your support and love for MetonBoss EDC products, including Knife Scales and Hardware, Lanyard beads, Prybars, Flashlights, Pill boxes, Haptic Coins and Fidgets, Worry Coins and Spinning Tops!
